La Spezia - La Spezia is defined as the pearl of the Riviera di Levante, and is located a few kilometers from the border with Tuscany. The city is located in the center of a natural gulf, called 'the gulf of poets', closed between Lerici and Portovenere, so called because it seems to have inspired many poets like Byron. Still visible is a fortress around which the city has developed, the castle of San Giorgio, now a museum with many historical artifacts.

Also characteristic is the Military Arsenal built in the early 1900s, near the gulf, where the Technical Naval Museum is located with an enviable collection of figureheads. The city has an eye on sustainability, with the creation of cycle and pedestrian paths that cross the entire city. Last, but not least, La Spezia cuisine, mainly based on fish from the sea of the Gulf of Poets.
